I had to turn it off because the writing is so bad I literally couldn't take another second. I waited for each word hoping it would get better and it just got worse. It's almost imressive how badly written it is. Seems like somebody tried very hard. The thing of it is whoever wrote it thought it was smart fresh dialogue but it's just their idea of what smart fresh dialogue is making it wildly off the mark.
And I got to thinking that maybe the writer is one of those people who thinks they know how people talk in NYC but they've never been or lived there so they assume everyone talks like them? I dunno but its bad.
I've never watched a movie where I could not suspend my disbelief because of writing. I was aware of the fact that it was a horribly written movie every second so it disallowed me to immerse myself in it. There is just no way anyone talks like these characters do.
" Tess you are the best "spotter"* out there..., what nascent defining look will everyone from the age of 13- 35 be spending their money on at the mall next summer?" A fashion firm's head of design asks one of the main characters in a sing songy up and down inflection cadence ending her sentence as if it's a big reveal that tess has all her fingers firmly on the fashion trend pulse. Its easily the most cringey line I've ever heard in a movie.
Go ahead try it... see if you can get through it. 5 will get you 10 you can't.
* apparently a spotter is someone who is white and goes to black neighborhoods to see what the black men are wearing while playing basketball so the following year their firm can determine what colors, styles will be in. ( ugh... that's not a job in NYC or anywhere)
